IND vs BAN, 2nd T20I Stats: India win by a record margin in Delhi; Nitish Reddy fourth-youngest Indian to score fifty

Team India produced yet another dominant performance against Bangladesh on Wednesday, thrashing the Najmul Hossain Shanto-led visitors by 86 runs in Delhi to clinch the three-match series with a game to spare.

With their massive win at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in the national capital, India are 4-0 against Bangladesh at the moment, albeit in different formats.

They had swept the Test series 2-0 earlier with huge wins in Chennai and Kanpur, and have now confirmed the T20I trophy for themselves with one-sided victories in Gwalior and Delhi, winning the series opener by seven wickets with more than eight overs to spare.

The second T20I witnessed all-rounder Nitish Reddy dish out a match-winning performance in just his second international appearance. The Andhra batter smashed 74 off just 34 deliveries and added 108 for the fourth wicket with Rinku Singh (53 off 29 balls) too help India post 221/9 on the board.
